Is there a hat out there for me?

[SS-18 ICBM]

That is formal (forget the baseball cap) while not being pretentious (not wearing a beret) at the same time? I have a round face if that helps.

Not that i would be rushing to post it, but after noticing your first tag i now see even less of a reason to do so

As for other types of hats, why not go the Hermes way?

His hat, called Petasos, also featured wings.

Apparently it was a popular hat in Thessaly (without the wings, sadly).

Go with the Joe Friday hat:

I will just advise against a hat full stop. Unless you're clearly good looking, in that case anything will work.

There are also many cool 'Cthulhu-hats':

To get you into that eldritch mood.

 

[Truronian]

It's unisex, FYI.

I would guess that if a hat has it's own name, wings or not, it would be considered pretentious. Unless its name was Joe, of course.

Now. That's what I call a hat.

Moreover, some chainage.

As a serious suggestion, what about a flat cap? Though depending on where you are it might make you look older than needed.


Also can't go wrong with a plate amor helmet.

Any special occasion or just to wear?

Stetsons are cool

Yeah. You said it's formal, so I assume you'll be wearing a suit or something, in which case I would strongly recommend you don't wear any hat at all.

Nice cowboy hats (and boots) go fine with formal wear.

 

[Loppan Torkel]

Maybe in Texas.

I have this. I get a lot of compliments.

Too euphoric.

Now. That's what I call a hat..

The definition of pretentious.

Yeah, that could work. I'll have to try it out in front of a mirror first.

Any special occasion or just to wear?

Just to wear when it's raining or snowing, to pair with a non-casual (read: no hood) jacket.

I have this. I get a lot of compliments.

Ehh...I don't know. I'd probably want to avoid hats with rims altogether.

 

[bhsup]

Maybe in Texas.

Maybe anywhere where good fashion taste exists, you mean!

I think a flat cap might fit the bill. Traditional enough that it can work as formal-ish wear, understated enough that it's not pretentious. Doesn't look like you're trying too hard, but doesn't look like you're not even trying.

Red calf skin peaky blinder. Works for me.
